Calf Raise With Splayed Foot

Muscles worked: Calves

Calf Raise With Splayed Foot turns the toes outward for the calf raise: heels rise with feet angled out, shifting the emphasis to a different part of the calf.

Keep the movement vertical and controlled, rising fully and lowering slowly without letting your ankles roll. Use a wall or chair for balance until the splayed position feels stable.

How to do it

1. Stand with your feet angled out, toes pointing away from each other.
2. Rise fully onto the balls of your feet.
3. Lower slowly with control, without letting your ankles roll.
4. Keep the movement vertical and controlled.
5. Use a wall or chair for balance until the splayed position feels stable.
